    Calling them BEVs is misleading and damaging to EVs as a whole, because you’re right, batteries do have their limitations, at least today’s batteries. The proper industry term is FEV, fully electric vehicle. Choosing to limit EVs to only batteries is an arbitrary decision made for argument’s sake, but instead of looking at how they can be improved, you’re just focusing on why it’ll fail. A “battery” is anything that stores energy, not just the traditional battery, and once EVs are the norm, they probably won’t be using LiPos, they’ll be using something that hasn’t been invented yet.

      Are you talking about FCEVs? You can also include directly electrified vehicles, but that is mostly mass transit.

      And yes, electrification as a whole will succeed. But BEVs probably are not. I call them fads because they are just toys for the rich and they are unlikely to be affordable for most people.
